A friend of mine maintains that the directors work is always
unappreciated until it ages a little, but I think this may be an exception (time will, of course, tell...) Damsels In Distress finds Stillman making a bitter mockery of his previous work cloaked in effervescent frivolity.
As Dr. Prager wrote in JAMA years ago, the simple miracle of urinating often goes
unappreciated —
until the kidneys, ureters, or bladder malfunction, as happened to his own son.
